compression is going to give you just as big of a performance hit as the encryption. i'd say negotiate with your IT department for more HD's and a faster raid arrangement. that way you can ditch the compression and maybe get a performance boost out of it.
i don't agree with security > all either. it's a trade off. personally i think encrypting ALL your desktops hd's a fucked idea with no merit at all. why not just encrypt all laptops since they are the real danger, leaving site etc, and enforce a policy of destroying all hd's after their use by date.
this is pretty cool stuff, it allows the user to display an image on the table of say a building, and different people (say engineers working on different sections like plumbing and electrical) can throw on their own parts of the plans to see if they are going to conflict and to easily show others. having actually worked on large projects where one of the biggest hurdles is inter discipline co operation i can see a real use for this.
if this was apple developing it i'm guessing you'd all be masturbating over it by now.....
see this is why NASA is putting robots on mars and you aren't. try freezing your dick to minus -225 and see if it's still functional next season.
ok sorry i'm being a little harsh there it's been a long day. solder will crack and oils will freeze and expand busting caps etc. that's why the lander might not make it through the winter.
show me a piece of hardware that doesn't have windows drivers, and lets compare that to the box full of hardware that i have just in my own home that linux didn't like.
hardware isn't "designed" for any platform, only the drivers are. your argument is rubbish.
as long as someone thinks the DMCA actually improves things i'll call them a moron. Lets get one thing straight, websites like youtube weren't ever responsible for content posted on them (nor should that have been) and you don't NEED the DMCA to make that happen. you certainly don't need the DMCA for that just as we don't need it being used by printer manufactures to shut down generic ink cart makers because they are circumventing some crappy content protection scheme.
it's a terrible shitty law so please stop this insane attempt at putting a positive spin on it.
your confused, GPL doesn't mean it has to be free. i can sell my work under the GPL and not provide public access to it at all, i just have to give the source to people who buy it off me that's all. remeber it's distribution that triggers the requirement for providing the source, nothing else.
nonsense. there is no safe harbor when a mere letter takes you offline with no burden of proof on the accuser. not only that but the dmca has been misused in courts to stifle competition. this should a dark day for us all.
perfect to these anal warts would be making it legal to kick down random doors and seize peoples property without any due process at all. wait maybe it is perfect?
unless they have a way to get your data out i can yes some big anti trust issues. i'm pretty sure they will though, MS can ill afford another tangle with the DOJ.
online OS's have their merit, no need for big expensive desktops, access your files AND applications anywhere. i hate the cloud buzzword, but i can see the concept catching on.
why support these companies that support DRM?? when MS or walmart use DRM there's a/. nerd outcry, but when apple or Nintendo do it it's ok because we can crack it?? news flash retards, ALL drm is crackable because it's a broken strategy
if i was a US tax payer i'd be outraged right now, that my money is bailing out billion dollar companies so it's millionare board members can continue on. no doubt wall st won't swollow it's pride though, and 12 months down the track when regulation is forced on them again they will be crying in a bucket about their free markets.
i say let the greedy pricks who caused this problem either fail naturally, or bail out the company and make them do highway road side clean ups (or some other public duty)for the rest of thier lives.

yeah, but this thing is so slow it's almost useless and it's a lot smaller with less features. it's just a gimic, despite what you think you know from star wars, mechanical legs on everything is a really really bad idea when compared to wheels or tracks.
do you really believe MS aren't liable if they shipped a version of windows with a virus on it? with open source who are you going to call on? i'm not trying to call you dense or anything....
anyway this isn't strictly about MS so holding up one of their stupid EULA's doesn't help you
is associating people with bush the new goodwin's?
personally i've been in the enterprise environment and in many cases, microsoft and closed vendors IS a good answer, remember that these peoples job is to judge software based on it's ability to do the job, nothing else. in my industry billion of dollars in product could be wiped out if even one of our pieces of software miscalculates - would you trust that to people on the internet that you have no recourse against if they are wrong?
"That job of "audit an entire linux distro for malware"... it is already done for you. It is an automatic part of the service."
fucking bullshit it is - they are NOT providing any kind of service and you use it at your own risk, it says it in bold print in the license. now are you telling me that as the CIO of some billion $ company with the livelihoods of 1000's of people in the palm of your hand, you would be willing to go with such an unknown quantity as random developers you have no association with who MIGHT have audited that code for you???? i question YOUR sanity if the answer is yes.
wow talk about a swing and a miss. WGA is not malware, it's totally retarded to even suggest it. And give me one example of a copy of windows from a ms genuine partner that contained real malware (not just the annoying stuff from hp etc)
i can think of 2 - 3 examples of OSS repositories being infected with virus code in the last couple of years, most notably debian.
the only valid point you make is paying for red hat. it's a great product, but it's hellishly more expensive than windows.

glad to see we have our priorities sorted. cure for cancer? cure for aids? clean energy? nope, preserving gaming "history"

tomtom runs linux? that explains why my tom tom is a fucking useless piece of shit that takes me up dead ends and the longest ways possible.

use it and stop bitching, or get more bandwidth.is it a slow news day or something?
thats your first mistake. welcome to the nanny state where the more useless you are the more needy you become and the more state welfre you need.

people jump on it because they think if somethings printed on the internets it must be true.
thats what struck me as well - this isn't criminal, don't the police have plenty enough other shit to bust bikies over?
